Oh time, in it’s flagrant exorcism of moods
Scars the sky of amber effigy
Gathering as woolen cheeks eludes
Staunch and stoic tug of rigid lights in arbitrary frame
Calling out to seek the reasons, given same
In pinpoint of saturation

A melody that seems as foreign as Aztec cloth
Poured in discomfort against the grain
Calling to my consciousness by formal name
Calling as if once in former garb a river
Falls appear before me

In scarlet skirt of fused redemption
Pull and billow vast ascension
Broad, the mind to wander wilderness
So loud, so bold
My breath grows cold

And yet, to be among the vapor trails
Lifting off the parched of pavement fails
And least of all the drink
Refuses sink or stir
And everything seems quiet in the blur

Until at last the rain has passed,
And sunset laps at drizzled tears
I wonder of the story day veneers
That without invitation I still seek
To find the basin drawn

I love these lines.

"And yet, to be among the vapor trails
Lifting off the parched of pavement fails
And least of all the drink

And everything seems quiet in the blur"

Good Writing!
